Shock video out of New York shows a social justice warrior telling an ex-Soviet immigrant to the U.S. that he should be thrown in a forced labor camp for supporting capitalism and being a "racist."

The exchange took place in Union Square, New York City between a group who identify as Maoists and Vladimir Jaffe, a Soviet immigrant who moved to the U.S., learned English and started his own business.

The SJW begins by whining about how tough it will be for him to find a job because of the "capitalist economy" before lamenting the fact that true socialism died with Stalin, a dictator responsible for the deaths of around 60 million people, 20 million of whom died in labor camps.

He then clarifies that he is a "Maoist" intent on 'improving socialism' so that "the next time it comes around" it can "throw people like your ass into a labor camp".

When Jaffe tells the SJW, "that's an interesting concept," he responds, "It's an interesting concept, it's going to be an interesting reality some day."

The SJW then tells Jaffe he should be in a labor camp, "Because you're a racist," before randomly invoking Hitler.

"You like Hitler! You like Hitler," he glibly asserts.

The SJW then interrupts Jaffe's conversation with someone else to state that he doesn't "believe in giving reactionaries the right to speak, that is why I believe in the dictatorship of the proletariat."

This footage once again illustrates how so-called "progressives" are in fact authoritarian regressives who wouldn't hesitate to use fascist means to silence their ideological adversaries.

The desire to have people who refuse to embrace socialism thrown into gulags is long-term fetish for some on the left.

According to former FBI agent Larry Grathwohl, who was assigned to infiltrate the Weather Underground's Central Committee, the organization run by Bill Ayers carried out bombings targeting the Pentagon, the State Department, as well as police stations and federal buildings, in an attempt to cause the collapse of the United States government and open the door for Cuban, North Vietnamese, Chinese and Russian troops to occupy the country.

Grathwohl stated that Ayers and his group planned to deal with Americans who would try to resist this takeover by "establishing re-education centers in the south-west". Asked what he would do with those who still refused to convert to communism, Ayers said that they would have to be "eliminated," in other words – 25 million Americans would be killed in concentration camps.

Grathwohl said the Weathermen told him the camps would be used to "re-educate people into the new way of thinking."
